B. What are some of the
fundamental issues that must be addressed in international advertising? As I
personally understand it, the 3 fundamental issues that must be addressed in
global advertising are defining the message one wants to get across to the

whether or not the message should be revised because of the market it is being
broadcast to.
C. Are the four Ps of
international marketing of equal importance to all firms? What might cause some
to be more or less important than others? As I personally understand it,
product, pricing, promotion, and place — are not of equal importance to all
organizations.
D. What are the pros and cons of
trying to use a single brand name in different markets, as opposed to creating
unique brand names for various markets? As I personally understand it,

economic factors in the Multi-National Corporation’s home country affect their
